Part of the Summer 2009 recording session, this song was the first to explore utilizing midi patches to create the atmosphere and mood of the song. And, in the case of this particular song, there are no actual acoustic instruments.
lyrics
Passing briefly, you float away
And everything that follows
Filters into subtle shades of gray
Endless laughter, sadness, and shame
Like fleeting passions raise a hope
That something may remain
Timeless whispers fall onto the bay
That washes through your absence
Black stillness absorbs what we once craved
A light shines cold and then begins to fade
Emotions illuminated reflect once more
And dim into the grave
Love’s hold breaks - favorite memories frayed
Unity smothered. A last glance
And one heart bleeds away
A perfect pairing dissolved and washed away
Into the womb of apathy
Turn away and never live this day
